I fully expected Teppers to force himself into the conversation, but he was hands on, mouth shut. Morgan brings an eye for talent that we have not had here, imo. I think what he has done over the past 2 seasons in the third and fourth rounds is stellar--I get the XL pick, and I get the Brooks pick in round 2--they have yet to work out, but there was always a patient, 2-3 year plan, and XL was raw. So it is materializing. However, getting a starting LB and TE in rounds 3 and 4 is good (I will call Sanders a starting TE because he will play a lot in the rotation). This year, I think Ransom could start and Princely could be a key rotational piece.

TMac is going to bring some fun, I think

if thats what you got out of my post then kindly put me on ignore

I liked her big hug for Tet when he got here. I also really like how Canales wants to get to know his players... I like that he is trying to create a family vibe, all the while being very vocal that you have to compete to be on the team. I think we are building something special here.

Seemed like Dan was explaining his thought process on moving up vs moving down vs staying put on each individual opportunity they wanted. Maybe he was looking for validation on the valuation of various trade ups/downs from Tep who understands value equivalency convos But it continues a narrative of the Teps being less hands-on than they were before (my timeline has the turning point being the infamous drink toss, with confirmation being the intro Dan/Dave presser)

To me he seemed to allow Tillis and Morgan do their thing. To me it showed he has trust in the FO. Very different than Rhule who as a coach wanted to make all the decisions.

Amen brother

Seth Myers and the Lonely Island podcast go deep on celebrating Will Forte's comedic style

she was but she wasn't center stage with the leadership team like she had been and she wasn't on camera. that's a step in the right direction.

There was a point in the video that Morgan looks at Tepper as if he was seeking approval--but that could have been polite inclusion. If I am Tepper I am sitting right in that seat doing the same thing--but I would be more vocal...When Morgan said, "I was hoping we would not get an offer we'd have to accept..." (paraphrasing)--that is his gut talking. Listen to your gut--don't let circumstances prevent the gut from being heard. Trust the gut. Reason? He knew the draft would play out if they got Tmac. He knew they would get an edge in round 2. After that, they could get a RB and S on day 3.

It can't be a Burns situation. Tmac is an unknown in the NFL. Burns had what, 4 years of NFL film at the time of the trade offer? Sure you can judge taking the trade or not with 20/20 hindsight. Which I'm sure you will if Tmac isn't all pro this year. I really doubt they turned down 3 first rounders based on the context of this video though. Feels like you are just priming yourself to poo on the team later in the year like you always do.

My rough place for Scourton (based on a compilation of several prospect rankings) was late first, so I did not research him much. I nearly forgot about him. His college production his final year was not elite--but that seems to be the system. I noticed that (at Tex AM) he had outside contain a lot, and was not rushing the QB--that means the CBs were probably in man coverage. So I think he could be good in this system. Princely? I had him going in the middle of the second round; he was my hope once we took TMac. Most of the mocks I saw had him going in the 40-48 range. When we traded up, I had forgotten about Scourton (or did not know that much about him) and I thought we would draft Princely. I was actually a bit disappointed because I think Princely will be a very good Edge. I would not be surprised to see both statistically challenge the first round Edge players.

Does look like he hit the weight room as well. Can’t do anything about his height but adding some muscle never hurt.

Tillis telling Tepper that meandering socks story was priceless— he’s got that Will Forte energy

She was

Also his wife wasn't in the room from what I could tell

agreed. As mentioned elsewhere, not unusual for (any team's) owner to be in the draft room. But comparing the hands-on draft style of Jerry Jones vs (what appeared to be) a more observant/less-involved Tepper this year... it seems very much like Dan was running the show and making the player decisions with his football mgmt team

Good find Jackie. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. MVP incoming. Looking rugged my boi.

doesn't sound like he's making the decisions, though. sounds like he's letting them make the decisions and they are just asking if he's on board with it all. i think he trusts them to get the job done. probably isn't easy for him to let go, but he might just be learning.

Rod is getting tired of losing with good to mid players and finally wants some elite guys.

I wonder if the value in theory of those picks next year go up in value simply because of the qb influx that will be in the draft? I just hope this isnt another burns situation.

You mean not showing excitement about a 6th rd pick? Lol

They're not really all that low as you think. Sure, some teams have had those HOF RBs who played their whole career there so they have 10k+ team leaders, but there are a bunch of franchises lower than us and some long time ones not much further ahead. Deangelo would be a leader for the Falcons, Saints, Bucs (crazy, our whole division), Eagles, Dolphins, Patriots, and Texans

I think the old narrative was greatly overstated but they can portray this however they want. It took a month to produce this.
